Presidential Nephew to Wed in Maine

[kskiska]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - George P. Bush may still be a rising star in the political world, but he will no longer be among the country's hottest bachelors.

The 28-year-old son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and nephew of President Bush plans to wed Amanda Williams on Saturday at a private ceremony at the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine.

``I am very happy for my son. He is marrying a wonderful young woman. Life can't get any better,'' Gov. Bush told The Associated Press in an e-mail Thursday from Maine.

This fall, George P. Bush will leave his position as an assistant to U.S. Judge Sidney Fitzwater in Dallas and will join the Dallas office of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, where he will work in corporate law. The firm is one of the world's largest and earns millions lobbying in Washington.

Bush has talked about someday running for office, but his parents have advised him to first begin a career and start a family.

1. Is this the stalker son or the sex in public son?

And how's the junkie daughter, btw. Will she be attending?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

6. Which junkie daughter? Noelle "Unauthorized Pills" Bush?

Jeez, they're a good-looking bunch, aren't they?

[aquart]

11. How many junkie daughters does he have?

Is that all the same girl?

[TXDemGal]

16. That's Jeb's one (former?) junkie daughter

and those are all the same person. Noelle or however she spells her name. Wonder if she'll be a bridesmaid? Maybe she and the bride-to-be can do some 'scrip drugs in the ladies room before the ceremony.

I'm really awful tonight. I do know that drug addiction is a disease.

[JohnLocke]

21. Yes, Noelle.

[Dirty Hippie]

30. Why didn't her parents get her teeth fixed?

She needs orthodontics.

15. It's The Stalker

As for Ms. Williams, anyone who marries into that family deserves what they'll probably get. And I'm sure "George P." has an ironclad prenup, so she won't be gettin' out with wads of cash when he dumps her for a new model in 20 years.

2. only good thing is his name is also 'George' - which should thwart

any political runs - I hope!!!

8. I thought the Bush family hated lawyers...

hmmmm...

[TXDemGal]

18. In the Bush family's book

lawyers who help corporations from paying for damage caused by their shoddy products are A-OK!

[soup]

29. She doesn't look like a 'political hunk' to me.

Found this article this morning, and wasn't quite sure what to make of it.
'Political hunk'? is that like the 'lump in the bed'?

4. Yeah....that's what the world needs. More Bush spawn becoming

corporate lobbiests and enablers.

[goclark]

5. Is the groom the "Little Brown One?"

The one his grandfather singled out of the group.

That was so unreal.

[Piperay]

25. Yeah poppy was going to do

the 'grandfather thing' with the 'little brown one'. :eyes:

[pfitz59]

7. When does he enlist?

To go fight in Iraq? He should be point on every patrol outta Bagdad. Another generation of Chickenhawks....

[OneBlueSky]

24. Bushes don't enlist . . .

fighting in foreign wars is for the little people, the ones who don't count . . . Bushes are too valuable to the country to risk being injured or killed . . .

I'm sure that's how their thinking goes . . . just as disgusting as everything else they do . . .

[kskiska]

9. What? No military service?

I remember when LBJ's daughter married and it would have been scandalous if Chuck Robb hadn't enlisted.

[proud patriot]

10. Does it bother anyone that they call it a "Compound"

x(

[aquart]

12. Just like the Mafia.

[TahitiNut]

17. ... and the PLO?

:eyes:

[kskiska]

14. Actually, it isn't even a compound.

Isn't a "compound" a large piece of property with several houses on it? I've seen both Hyannis Port and Kennebunkport, and Walker's Point looks like a peninsula with one large house on it, along with smaller outbuildings, not houses.

They probably don't like being called a compound, because then people might think they're rich – like the Kerrys.

[TahitiNut]

13. Just what the world cries out for: another corporate lawyer

:puke: ... and lobbyist. :puke: :puke:

[PartyPooper]

19. Oh goody! Just what we need...another branch of the "Bu$h" family.

:eyes:

[bluestateguy]

20. A corporate lawyer

Glad to know he's going to be using his talents to help the neediest in our society.

[PartyPooper]

22. Why aren't these folks getting married in a church?

Just wondering.

:eyes:

[DaveSZ]

23. Noelle and Rush will bring the party favors

27. They are

KENNEBUNKPORT — After 10 years as organist at St. Ann's Episcopal Church, Bill Teague is well-accustomed to performing before the Bush family. "That doesn't cause any pressure," Teague said Thursday after practice for the first family's latest wedding here.

Saturday evening, the president's 28-year-old nephew, George Prescott Bush, will marry a former law school classmate at the small oceanside church.

26. But but... ain't they from Texas!?! n/t

28. Kerrybunkport

Meanwhile, an unofficial Kerry campaign office has opened near Dock Square, where shops stock T-shirts touting the Bush family's connection to Kennebunkport. Inside a small converted basement, Democrats were selling T-shirts that read "Kerrybunkport."

"We're right in the middle of Bushville, and we're obvious," said Wes Macleod-Ball, a lawyer who leads the local Democratic Party.
